> Odd how substring can be used as index of string. oh, I see where the confusion comes from. the reason why "foobar"["foo"] returns 'f' isn't that "foo" is a substring of "foobar", but that "foo" will be casted to int, which will result in "foobar"[0], which in turn will result in 'f' and "foobar"["3 apples"] would return 'b' for example. it's an unexpected behavior for many people, but it is how it works and we even documented this. as I mentioned in my previous mail, we will try to make this a little bit more noisy, as this can lead to hard to spot bugs. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
